Ting-Bo Li, Yin-Zhuang Zhang, Wei-Qi Liu, Jie-Jie Zhang, Jun Peng, Xiu-Ju Luo, Qi-Lin Ma
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(2):313-322. Published online September 13, 2017
Background/Aims: NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidase (NOX)-mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in promotion of oxidative injury in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the status of NOX in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of hyperlipidemic..
